And chiseled. Did I mention sawblades, razors, and other sharp things? They had nothing on that jaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Yes,” I said. “The beard. The pajamas.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe sat up, his mouth crooking in the corner, and rested his elbows on his knees. That pose did nothing to help my racing pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“You can’t grow pajamas, sweetheart.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“You know what I mean. Grow it back. Grow it all back.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe rose from the beanbag, and his presence filled the room more than usual. I didn’t know where to look. He was handsome. \u003ci\u003eSo\u003c\/i\u003e handsome. Where did all the handsome come from?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“No,” he said so confidently. “What if I like the new me?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“I don’t.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Oh, no?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“No.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe stepped closer to me, tapping his chin and smirking. “You know what? I think you do. I think I make you uncomfortable. It’s fun having you not be able to take your eyes off me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI sneered, rolling my eyes. “Get over yourself.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“You know, I wonder what else you won’t be able to take off me. Want to give it a try?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere was the non-flirty flirting again. He was real. He was hitting on me!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI couldn’t go there. I tried to keep things chill and go back to how casual and comfortable they’d always been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Yeah, well, that shirt will be the first thing to go. The tie, too.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe tugged it loose and then opened his arms to me. “Have at it, then.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFuming and embarrassed and way too intrigued, I reached for the nearest throw pillow on my bed and chucked it at him. Ziggy ducked in a tennis player kind of way and laughed like this was all a fun game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Get out of here.” I pointed to my open bedroom door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“No way. I live here.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“No, you don’t. My roommate is scrappy and scruffy. He wears pajama pants and never shaves, but he does keep himself clean and smelling good.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Is that what it’ll take to get you to believe it’s me? Okay, then, smell me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“I’m not smelling you.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Then look into my eyes.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI remembered the moment we’d shared, the one where I’d realized his eyes were green. That moment had powered through at full blast, and the idea of reliving it was all too appealing. Like Belle’s \u003ci\u003eIt is you! \u003c\/i\u003emoment when the Beast transformed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“That’s dangerous,” I said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Why?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe moved into my space, and as soon as he did, it wasn’t mine anymore.
